We have access to a canning machine; it seals #10 cans. Our local
bulk-foods market has pinto beans and white rice in fifty-pound sacks
for about fifty cents a pound, and we get fourteen cans out of one sack.

Other things we've canned are rolled oats, dehydrated potato slices,
freeze-dried fruits and veggies, elbow macaroni, white flour, milk powder,
freeze-dried ground beef and sausage crumbles. Each can has an oxygen
absorber and a plastic lid for use after it's been opened.

Don't forget to store toilet paper.

I was surprised at the good deals in these 'dollar stores.' Sloppy Joe sauce and spicy raman noodles are two that come to mind. I'm sure if you compare the ingredients in a lot of the the canned goods they won't be much different than the big brand names. Birthday party goods and candles are also inexpensive at these stores.

Emerge Energy Drink (250ml) £0.25My take
Not only is this stuff over £1 a can cheaper than Redbull, It tastes better too.

ASDA Smartprice Curry Flavour Instant Noodles (65g) £0.10My take
Compared to other brands they taste pretty bland, but Super Noodles are, what 45p? So you can stock 4 times more of these.

ASDA Smartprice Vodka (700ml)£7.97

My take
Alcohol has a lot of uses and is good for trade, plus it lasts a very long time. Ive drunk Vodka that was first opened 10 year earlier so if it has the seal on, who knows.

The government is going crazy over cheap booze, they are even looking at slapping a £0.50 per unit minimum cost on it.This stuff is about a unit every 25ml so should the law come in will be at least £15 a bottle, so get it cheap while you can.

Have you combined the Emerge with the vodka? Keeps you up longer doing things you regret!

I use to drink Raspberry Absolut with own brand lemonade which was awesome but stopped when they pulled this sh**:

I'd Also like to recommend the "Fray Bentos" tinned pies. The pastry aint that grate but thy do taste alright. If you haven't got much for dinner half of one can do two people with 2 packs own brand instant mash and cheap gravy.
